Today's the big day everyone's been waiting for - the re-launch of OPSEU's cafeteria - The Solidarity Cafe - under new management - Anne-Marie Todd-Mowatt & Jeff Mowatt. The old cafeteria was closed last July after a truck rammed the exterior kitchen wall on a quiet Saturday afternoon. The new caterers have a number of environmentally friendly policies and practices. These include:
- locally grown and seasonal foods including cheese
- other local suppliers
- fair trade coffee
- use of real cups and dishes to minimize waste
- bio-degradable food containers
- green cleaning products
It is also expected that the cafeteria will begin using herbs grown right at head office.
Green Union provided them with a couple of OPSEU water pitchers for drinking water.
